Toileting Sling

It is easy to put in place under me. I feel safe and secure when being lifted.

The binding is rough and cuts in to me when I am being lifted.

Ease of use and comfort to user.

The lumbar support is too bulky, but we work around it.

My daughter is special needs and needed a commode sling and this sling works well.

Made very well.

Just to big.

For my Mother. She can't stand or walk anymore. We have a patient lift the sling I order is great , but is to big for her. I wish I could exchange .

Easy to put on.

The chest strap with the clip sticks to the Velcro an gets fuzzy with use.

I have progressive Multiple Sclerosis &use this sling for the last 12 yrs. I use it for transfer, bathing & toileting.

Good, soft material. As comfortable as I could have hoped for. Other slings are made of stiff, harsh material and are not worth a try.

We have had difficulty finding the right size, one size larger is too big and one step smaller is too snug. The chest straps do not connect.

Larger husband without use of his legs.

Not bulky. Easier to pull up sweatpants.

Sometimes puts too much pressure on arms - but just don't keep them in the air very long.

anne w. from mayville, ny (caregiver)

My husband has ALS - this sling makes it easier for me to pull his pants back up, and it so much less bulky than the other one we had.

Durability.

None so far.

The pad that are supposed to go under the arms always end up in front, need to have real broad shoulders for this to work. Ordered a small this time hoping it would fit better but it seems the only difference between this and a medium is the length of the leg straps. Also, the velcro on the chest band tears up the chest strap.

67 year old woman 5'2" 169 lbs with degenerative neurologic condition, can't stand, no control of lower extremities, limited use of arms.

Allows use while person is sitting in chair or on toilet and not necessarily on or in the bed. This is very important.

Sizing instructions need to be provided. Otherwise it's a guessing game, which is bad when product cannot be returned, seat belt could be more effective. Velcro gets stuck in unintended places.
